Cogwheel Cowl

COGWHEEL COWL is a beautifully designed knitting pattern that features intricate geometric lace carefully arranged along the sides of this stylish triangular neck accessory. Inspired by larger triangular shawls, I aimed to create something smaller and quicker to knit—perfect for spring layering. This charming Cogwheel Cowl is not only a quick knit but also a versatile piece that you can easily grab and wear throughout the season.

Designed to be knit flat, the ends are then seamed together, resulting in a delightful and cozy neck accessory that you’ll love to show off. The unique lacework adds a touch of elegance, making the Cogwheel Cowl suitable for both casual outings and more formal occasions. Whether you're looking to add a pop of color to your outfit or just need a quick accessory to stay warm, this cowl is ideal for all your spring layering needs.

YARN: For this pattern, I recommend using Knit Picks Capra DK, which is a luxurious blend of 85% merino wool and 15% cashmere, providing both warmth and softness. With 123 yards per 50 grams, you will need 2 skeins in the lovely 'Magnolia Heather' colorway to complete the project.

NEEDLE: Use a US 8 (5mm) knitting needle to achieve the best results with this pattern.

Techniques to know: To successfully knit the Cogwheel Cowl, make sure you're familiar with the following techniques: k2tog (knit two together), p2sso (pass two slipped stitches over), skpo (slip, knit, pass over), sk2po (slip, knit two together, pass over), and yo (yarn over). These stitches are essential for creating the beautiful lace pattern that characterizes this lovely accessory.
